Good luck Dr Fu!

pharoah88      ( Date: 14-Jul-2010 09:37) Posted: DR FU YONG is a Chinese fund manager often referred to as the 'S-chip sage' for his history of favouring Singapore-listed Chinese firms.   When he won the 2007 Fund Manager of the Year award in his category, he had a high water mark of seven S-chips among his fund's top 10 holdings in the second half of that year. Dr Fu has now taken on a new position with a Shanghai-based 8.6 bln yuan fund of Changxin Asset Management following his stepping down from Beijing-based Orient Fund in February. While recent analysis and media reports are not deluding themselves into believing that Dr. Fu will immediately jump full bore back into S-chips as a fund manager with Changxin, the fact that the 'S-chip sage' is back in the game at this point in time does present a ray of hope for Chinese firms selling shares in Singapore. During his tenure with Orient, Dr. Fu became known for chasing high-risk, high-return opportunities, and having a very high rate of bagging his quarry. Mixed funds under his control saw a nearly 169% average return during an 18-month period three years ago, making him the second most profitable fund manager in this category over the timeframe. Dr Fu and Orient acquired a reputation at the time for being a cheerleader for Chinese firms listed on the Singapore stock exchange pharoah88      ( Date: 13-Jul-2010 16:55) Posted: S-Chips SAGE  FU YONG  is back with a nEw FiRM

SINGAPORE

“These individuals are the engines moving research programmes in labs,” he said at the 10th A*Star ( Agency for Science, Technology and Research) scholarships awards ceremony.

Just as Singapore has attracted a strong pool of senior scientific talent, this younger group must see a PhD or postdoctoral education in Singapore as adding value to their resume. This means offering impactful mentorship, as well as assisting them to transit in their careers — either to become established scientists, or to head onto industry and other research and development tracks.

The A*Star scholarship programme has successfully nurtured a pipeline of 1,000 scholars over 10 years who will contribute to the Singapore R&D scene. The number included the 136 scholars who received their scholarships and fellowships yesterday.

A*Star scientists recently made three breakthroughs in key areas of cancer research.

Their findings, published in

shed light on the mechanism behind cancer metastasis, suggest why breast cancer cells live as long as they do, and show a better way to detect and fight cervical cancer.— Efforts are being mounted to raise Singapore’s branding as a “Boston of the East” to attract early career researchers and graduate students, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean said yesterday.Cancer Cell, Nature Cell Biology and Cancer Research,

S’pore spends on defence ‘to feel safe’

HOUSTON (Texas) — A question was asked about Singapore’s defence expenditure when Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong met business leaders and politicians in Houston, Texas on Monday (yesterday morning, Singapore time).

The Republic has allocated an estimated expenditure of about $11.5 billion this financial year to the Ministry of Defence, which tends to have the highest budget among all the ministries.

Mr Lee told the gathering that Singapore spends on defence “in order to feel safe”. “We’re very small. Your Mayor said we’re the size of the city of Houston. But I think we’re smaller than the city of Houston, and there’s no such thing as strategic depth. If somebody arrives on your shore that means he’s already within five, 10 miles of the whole of the country. That’s it.”

He added that Singapore’s military contributes to a stable and safe region, where countries can prosper and live together, and also cooperates with its defence counterparts around the region to solve shared problems from a slightly different perspective.
